Futari-bun no šómei

Quite a nice short film on the theme of "childhood friends growing up." It's nice to watch and the accompanying music tries its best to add emotion and does a good job of it as far as I’m concerned. I can picture this as a decent trailer for a mediocre film full of clichés about the relationship between two childhood friends (boy and girl) and its (un)expected development. It didn’t hit me emotionally as much as, say, The Dog & the Boy I saw a week ago, so only a 6/10. (2023.02.07)
